Hi! Since the price increase, what has been upgraded in kwiziq? I was a free user and am interested in this, but 179 feels expensive for one year. Thanks!!

"Los países en la cumbre presentaron sus propuestas ________ las catástrofes naturales."

In this question, the correct answer is ante.   Could "frente a" be another option here? 

"Los países en la cumbre presentaron sus propuestas frente a las catástrofes naturales."

Also, could you either add a section about frente to this lesson or create a lesson about frente?

Hi, there are two questions on the quiz that I don't understand: (1) "Esos chicles son mentolados pero  ____  no tienen sabor" and (2) "Esos estudiantes van a viajar a Asia pero ________ no tienen dinero." Kwiziq is saying that the correct demonstrative pronoun in both cases is "estos." However, my understanding was that demonstrative pronouns should vary in gender with the noun they refer to, unless it isn't known or we are referring to statement, idea, or situation. In 1, the noun being referred to is "chicles," which is a masculine plural noun, so the demonstrative pronoun should be "estes," not estos, correct? With 2, I understand that we may not know the gender of the group, so we use esto. Can you explain?

What is the difference between para la que and para el que.

Can someone please explain when we cannot use either of the two.

Gracias!

I’ve started to get kwiz questions about specific instances of the imperative, but I am very unfamiliar with it. Could you link me to the introductory lessons/material you have about forming the imperative? Thanks

Is this use of ~Lo + Possessive Pronoun~ "To talk about minding one's own business," more akin  to entrometido o  metiche instead of "talking about one's own interests (which seems more relevant to the section antecedent: la pintura no es lo mio)?  Thank you.

¿Ambas son correctas?

1. Solo escuche como toco.

2. Solo escuche cómo toco.

 Gracias de antemano

The phrase "not be much for" is more idiomatic and translates to "not enjoy" or "not be in the habit of". I have never heard it used in the positive, however. You might say "He's not much for taking walks" to mean "He doesn't enjoy taking walks".  However, I have never heard something like "He's much for taking walks". There's a positive version that's a bit more enthusiastic: "to be a great one for".  For example, "He's a great one for playing practical jokes".

Just a suggestion, I was wondering if we could potentially include like a flashcard series equivalent where we can test new vocab we come into throughout kwiziq. So that we have the ability to review it after not coming across it for some time. 

Hola! Necesito un poco de ayuda con una frase. No entiendo porque en esta frases ''A continuación, agregue tomates triturados, alcaparras, aceitunas, una hoja de laurel y el bacalao desmenuzado a la sartén'' decimos ''a la sartén'' en lugar de ''en la sartén''. Gracias! :-)
